Ottica Romani Rome

Ottica Romani is one of Rome’s most storied optical institutions, founded in 1927 by Commendatore Giorgio Romani following his graduation as an Optical Master from the only European-level optical school recognized in Jena, Germany. Now in its third generation of family management, the historic flagship at Via Flavia 122 — just a short walk from Piazza Fiume and Via Veneto — remains the anchor of the Romani optical network in the Italian capital. The store’s three-floor space is a blend of optical showroom, medical practice, and institutional memory: alongside an extensive frame and lens collection, the building houses fully equipped medical offices where specialized orthoptists conduct vision measurement consultations, ophthalmologists perform complete eye examinations, and aesthetic medicine practitioners offer non-invasive ocular treatments. Ottica Romani is recognized as the most prominent low vision center in Rome and the wider Lazio region, accredited by the local health authority ASL since 1978 — a distinction that reflects its clinical credentials and long service to visually impaired Italians. The contact lens center, established in the early 1960s, offers adaptation services for all lens types, from daily disposables to specialty and custom scleral lenses. The eyewear collection spans a wide range of international brands chosen not only for their aesthetic appeal but for their technical suitability for various prescriptions and face geometries. Qualified staff, rigorous fitting processes, and a century of expertise make this a reference destination for vision care in Rome.
